to_o justify_v in_o the_o year_n 1651._o a_o devout_a italian_a friar_n be_v appoint_v to_o preach_v in_o the_o great_a dome_n at_o milan_n the_o archbishop_n present_a and_o have_v be_v inform_v

for_o that_o court._n and_o when_o you_o have_v say_v this_o in_o all_o reason_n have_v a_o design_n to_o triumph_v over_o roman_a catholic_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v say_v a_o word_n about_o

how_o little_a concernment_n so_o ever_o such_o a_o doctrine_n or_o ordinance_n be_v in_o itself_o there_o may_v be_v difference_n and_o even_a dissension_n among_o catholic_n about_o point_n of_o

all_o congregation_n divide_v from_o the_o catholic_n have_v a_o quite_o different_a conceit_n of_o the_o phrase_n be_v member_n of_o a_o church_n and_o this_o conceit_n be_v either_o general_a or_o more_o special_a according_a to_o the_o general_a conception_n of_o that_o phrase_n they_o acknowledge_v all_o to_o be_v member_n of_o their_o church_n or_o rather_o co-member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o do_v not_o teach_v doctrine_n or_o make_v ordinance_n exclude_v all_o right_a and_o interest_n in_o the_o common_a salvation_n and_o thus_o english_a protestant_n esteem_v

because_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n to_o one_o another_o notwithstanding_o the_o difference_n among_o they_o 12._o the_o second_o and_o more_o special_a notion_n of_o the_o phrase_n be_v member_n of_o a_o church_n entertain_v by_o all_o particular_a congregation_n not_o catholic_n do_v import_v a_o external_a conformity_n in_o all_o doctrine_n without_o exception_n

they_o from_o their_o external_a communion_n thus_o lutheran_n be_v not_o calvinist_n though_o they_o believe_v calvinist_n may_v meet_v they_o in_o heaven_n because_o they_o will_v not_o admit_v they_o to_o their_o communion_n thus_o you_o presbyterian_o and_o independent_o etc._n etc._n be_v no_o english_a protestant_n as_o long_a as_o you_o be_v nonconformist_n let_v the_o difference_n

such_o a_o communication_n with_o you_o who_o they_o can_v deny_v to_o be_v schismatic_n but_o it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a in_o you_o to_o accuse_v they_o of_o tyranny_n for_o exclude_v you_o from_o

no_o church_n but_o a_o babel_n if_o at_o communion_n some_o shall_v sit_v other_o stand_z other_o lie_v along_o as_o our_o lord_n do_v and_o other_o kneel_z if_o some_o shall_v be_v bareheaded_a other_o with_o their_o hat_n on_o will_v it_o look_v like_o a_o assembly_n of_o man_n that_o serve_v god_n therefore_o complain_v not_o but_o rather_o thank_v god_n and_o they_o if_o they_o force_v
